My voice teacher told me once that a countertenor (male alto) mostly are baritones if they sing in regular male registers, this proves that it is SO true!! She said it was due to something about the length of the vocal cord of a baritone is easier to do falsetto louder and in lower notes than tenors. Sure this singer's baritone is nowhere as perfect as his countertenor range, but the baritone timbre is there when he sings in regular male register.
i dont like this. the one i grew up with was total differentt:
three gypsies stood at th castle gate, they sang so high they sang so low, the lady sat in her chamber late, her heart melted away like snow. she plugged off her high heel shoes, made of spanish leather-oh, she walked in the streets with her bare bare feet, along with the wraggle taggle gypsies oh. *prince*; oh sudden to me my milk white speed, go and fetch my lady-oh, for i may ride to seek my bride, (cont.)
I am not sure whether I like this or find it rather distasteful (to change registers). And why resorting to an average (let's admit it) baritone when he has a superb countertenor? I don't think the song specifically asked for this. Oh well, he likes a joke, doesn't he? 'The three countertenors' thingy proved it. :-)
When I was a little girl I learned to sing this song in music lessons and it was definitely "The Raggle-taggle Gypsies".
We didn't think it was "funny", we probably didn't really understand it, we just enjoyed the melody; but it said something to us about longing and freedom....perhaps it is the most subversive feminist song ever written!
@sarahcyn I feel the same way. This song may have been meant to be funny but it really appeals to me. I know it's not accurate but I've always been very drawn to the popular image of the gypsy. I think it's the freedom thing. Plus, I love the clothes. I'm a sewer and have been making Bohemiam style clothes.
(continued from 1st Part) domesticity to be with the gypsies. She responds by saying that money, wealth and domesticity are not the things that she truly craves. It is the sense of freedom gained from living with the gypsies that she truly wants in life. The message of the song is that a woman should choose her own path in life instead of having to conform to what people think that women should be like.
From the Wikipedia: "The ballad, according to Tosches, retells the story of John Faw, a 17th century outlaw, described as a Gypsy, and Lady Jane Hamilton, wife of John Kennedy, 6th Earl of Cassilis. Lord Cassilis led a band of men (some sources say 16, other 7) to abduct her. They were caught and hanged on the "Dool Tree" in 1643. The "Gypsies" were killed (except for one, who escaped) and Lady Jane Hamilton was imprisoned for the remainder of her life, dying in 1642."
The story is a about woman (who I presume is in a loveless marriage) who runs off with a group of singing gypsies. She runs down the stairs and discards her wedding dress - presumely this is the night of the wedding. The husband returns and is informed by the servant that she has run away with the gypsies. Enraged by this, the husband asks the servant to saddle his horse, so that he can go after her and rescue her. When he finds her, he asks her why she left behind a life of wealth and
hahahahahahaha that is hilarious!!!! the way he sings!!! We play this song in my orchestra and its really good but i never knew someone sang it before
I must say, your ear isn't too bad. Yes I noticed a few flaws, but you did quite well. Their are many versions of this song, btw, if that answers your question; this is certainly one of the lesser frequent versions.
I've entered this as a festival piece and then I realised how may verses there are in it! (The text is also different from this version...)Any tips for committing words to memory???
This is originally a Scottish song about a lady called Lady Jane Hamilton, wife of John VI, Earl of Cassillis. The "Gypsies" were killed (except for one, who escaped) and Hamilton was imprisoned for the remainder of her life, dying in 1642. Her only crime was to fall in love and run off with a Romany Gypsy.
awesome!i've never heard andreas sings as a baritone, he's amazing! as a countertenor,he is definitly the best, and of cource this piece is interesting and delightful,how lovely! thanks!
I remember singing this at primary school. Unfortuantely we couldn't do the big deep voice thing! The first time I heard this I didn't even realise it was Andreas singing theseverses! I kept looking in the album sleeve to see who the other soloist was!
This guy's great. I didn't know it was him singing the baritone part, too. Great surprise. And singing the lady's lines he dares to be really effeminate.
I start to believe his performance is less dependent on his beautiful voice than on his other qualities. A very interesting man.
My God, palcika! I am totally stunned, flabbergasted, overcome with bewilderment. I just came from Handel's Rodelinda; T'abbracio, where I saw your comment, took your advice and looked up this one. UNBELIEVABLE! I'm so used to seeing him as a countertenor.
Now I just wish I could see a video of him actually singing this and SWITCHING from one to the other. Thanks for the lead, ALSO thanks to civileso for posting it.

Actually this is meant as a funny song, ridiculing the idea that a woman can live by herself.
But yeah, in modern times it could be interpreted as you suggest.
